Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lower Thorpe

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Thorpe

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Lower Thorpe clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our pricing.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Lower Thorpe

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your OX17 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When to call us in Lower Thorpe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
